S.T.A.R. is a national, student-led organisation which facilitates volunteering opportunities (for both students and refugees/asylum seekers), action and fundraising in aid of those in need of refuge in the UK.

We are the Manchester branch of S.T.A.R.

We co-ordinate and are involved in English speaking lessons with refugees on Saturdays and the S.U.

We cook food and help out with a night shelter in the winter months for destitute asylum seekers at Brunswick Parish Church. Unfortunately only boys can stay the night, but they are badly needed so get in touch!

What is says on the tin
We campaign and fundraise for the national S.T.A.R. organisation. Last year we organised a sleep out on the union steps as part of the STILL HUMAN STILL HERE campaign. Two MPs joined us for the night, showing us that support is there for the cause we are advocating about.

So get involved!
